Great Reno Balloon Race

About

The Great Reno Balloon Race is in its 45th anniversary year, held each September in Reno against the Sierra Nevada backdrop. The world's largest free hot-air balloon event draws thousands of spectators for the expo — general vendors, crafts, arts, marketplace items, and food & beverage (food vendors currently on waitlist). All booth locations are positioned for equal visibility and traffic. Electricity available upon request. Limited expo spaces; apply early.
